c.5.75m2 ornate motif ceramic encaustic floor c.1925-1930
A small, c.5.75m2, ornate ceramic encaustic floor centered on a four-tile repeating circular motif. The palette is burgundy, black and white.
Both the back to back border tiles and the main field tiles are stamped B&W and were made around Maubege in France between 1925 and 1930. The ceramic is good; occassional small chips and nibbles and surface crackling on a very small number of tiles give the floor a pleasing patina and the floor has cleaned excellently of old mortar and wax.
Being ceramic encaustic they can be laid both inside or outside the home.
Tile quantities, give or take one or two:-
